This book is describing certain religious poems and transcribed into the Spanish Language. This is not a true translation but gives the reader an understanding of the subject spoken. The theme of the poems is an interpretation of religious life, as it was lived by Jesus Christ. Jesus philosophy was to teach humanity in good living standards. Evil is the negative living standard which cannot be shaken away from them. By believing Christ teaching makes it possible to enter the heavenly abode.
The central component of this study is an index of the numerous motifs through which topoi of the text as symbol are articulated in the religious poetry, sermons, and sacramental plays of Golden Age Spain. Paired with the index is an anthology of the texts on which the book is based. In her introduction, Louise Salstad discusses the transmission and transformation of the topoi as they appear in the Old and New Testaments, classical literature, church writings, and medieval texts, and she considers the influence of the contemporary milieu on the shaping of these motifs. The book also includes an explanatory introduction to the index, biographical notes on authors, a chronology of works, a bibliography, and key word indexes of motifs in English and Spanish. The most extensive investigation of specific topoi undertaken in Spanish studies, this book will also be of interest to art historians and cultural historians whose focus is theology, the history of spirituality, or the history of the book.
This book sets Prudentius' martyr poetry within the religious, social, and visual contexts of late antique Spain. This original approach utilises the fields of history, archaeology, classical literature and art history, and the book is important for academics and more advanced students within these disciplines.
